What is a bitcoin futures ETF & a spot bitcoin ETF?
Could you please elaborate on the key differences between a Bitcoin futures ETF and a spot Bitcoin ETF? As an investor in the <a href="https://www.btcc.com/en-US" title="cryptocurrency">cryptocurrency</a> space, I'm interested in understanding the nuances between these two investment vehicles. With a futures ETF, does it involve contracts that track the future price of Bitcoin, while a spot ETF directly holds Bitcoin? Are there any tax implications or liquidity considerations I should be aware of when considering these options? Additionally, how do the performance and risk profiles of these ETFs compare? Thank you for your insights.
